Vinyl Flooring Advantages It is no secret that vinyl floors offers a softer flooring surface option than other types of flooring. Vinyl flooring is typically backed with felt or foam.

The soft layer allows the floor to be more flexible so that you can stand on it longer. Vinyl tiles are available in many styles which even include a design that mimics the look of hardwood or stone flooring. In some cases, it can be very difficult to tell the difference between a vinyl product and a stone or wood vinyl.
